definition
"Sannyas and methods are not bondages; they are tools to help you remove the real chains of restlessness and ego, and when true freedom blossoms, even the tools are effortlessly dropped."
According to Osho, sannyas and all methods are not bondages; they are skillful devices to remove your real chains—restlessness, ego, attachment—like using a thorn to pull out another. If deep silence has already happened, no method is needed; otherwise, courageously use them. When freedom flowers, even the method is dropped—neither clung to nor condemned.
Sannyas and meditation are tools to pull out your inner splinters; use them while you hurt, and toss them when you’re healed.
Why this matters practically
- Check honestly if peace is real or avoidance
- Use methods fully to undo attachments, then let them go
- Avoid clinging to or prematurely rejecting paths
